Thai Tuna Salad

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...If you've had enough tuna salad to last several lifetimes, I'd like to propose you try this variation. The recipe is similar to one served in Thailand, but it requires no exotic ingredients and can be on the table in about 10 minutes. While standard tuna salads tend to cloy, this one awakens taste buds with the hot, sweet, sour and salty flavors we've come to associate with Thai food. I serve this beautiful salad in lettuce cups but it would also work well with pita bread or flour tortillas. Here's the recipe for a quick Lenten lunch or a simple go-to supper on those nights when you're too tired to cook.

I see this on the menu of the Thai restaurants I frequent, but never order it because there are too many other things I love. But you make it look/sound so good. I will definitely try it next time--or maybe just make it myself!

Oh dear MAry ,i couldn agree with u more that the thai sweet sour and salty flavours not only awaken but have u craving for more and more and more.....Loved ur thai tuna salad and yeah we do love our tuna.....

Mary, your pictures are fabulous- of course we have to try this now! Beautiful! It's interesting- seems putting a ton of mayo in tuna is more an American thing- my Italian grandmothers would never havexoxo Pattie

Oh Mary--thank you! The Thai tuna sounds delicious. I need to replace my fish sauce and pick up some cilantro but all the rest of the ingredients are in my pantry. I am a Thai food fanatic. We have a wonderful local restaurant. As a hedge against that restaurant ever closing, I have amassed many Thai cookbooks. I believe in being prepared!

Mary, you wrote the loveliest comment on my blog re: my daughter. Thank you. I followed your comment here, to your blog. LOVE it!! So many great recipes/ideas. I look forward to reading/learning/drooling. :)

Hi Mary! At first I thought that was corn in the salad but when I read the ingredients I realized it was ginger. A sigh of relief! I actually make this a lot. My husband makes his the ole Indiana way, with mayo!
